I wonder how many of this country's "open minded" lefties will be running out to see this film on opening night?
"Happy slaves are the worst enemies of freedom." - Marie Von Ebner
"It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies..." - Orwell
If there's one thing I've learned the last 3 years, it is that talking about how much America sucks is a sign of true patriotism... but saying that America is a great place to be means you are trying to silence dissent.
America sucks = patriotism.
America is great = fascism.
I'll just give you the words that set the tone of the review:
a star-spangled plea for the hearts and minds of Disney shareholders
steaming pile
commercial-slick vignettes
a hilarious camp artifact
apple-pie mythmaking at its most insidiously thoughtless
the shame of Abu Ghraib
the cornpone idea of America
red, white, and blue clichés
Technically, the film is a documentary, but it's closer to an advertisement or a state-funded propaganda film, calibrated to appeal to emotional, unreflective instincts through shimmering hogwash. If this is a real cross-section of America, then where are the needy, the disenfranchised, and the assholes?
